Verner/Hardy Wedding

I played for a small wedding and reception this morning. It was probably the most fun I’ve had at someone else’s wedding, and I was working. It was a very small guest list and an intimate ceremony and reception. Michael came with me and we both had a great time. They made us feel like part of the family.  The bride, Sharon, had sent me a list of requested songs that she and her parents wanted to hear.  These included hymns and traditional Irish tunes.  Her dad is an Irishman by birth, so he was especially excited to hear the Irish tunes.  Sharon’s parents, and Sharon as well until very recently, have been missionaries in Thailand and Cambodia.  Her father performed the ceremony and gave a very good sermon as part of the wedding.  He’s a kick to listen to.  The groom, Doug, was also very nice, though I didn’t have as much opportunity to visit with him.  I feel like I’ve known these people for a long time, rather than just having met them all this morning for the first time.  It was such a good time.
